The Wheeler who supports Cleveland E simply a blind partisan; and the man who wrote the above paragraph is no better. So it is clear case of the blind leading tho blind" Both will fall into the ditch dug hy the conspirators.-Arkansas Dispatch.
 The above is a comment on an item in which we said that we be heved that Cleveland would be re elected by the people. We pre- sume the Dispatch would have the Wheelers follow tn the lead oi such men as Ben Butler and the class of men usually brought for ward by the Greenbackers. Par, tisan or no partisan, we feel sure that we speak the sentiment of three. fourths of the Wheelers when we say tha: Cleveland will get their votes if he is renominat- ed, and by doing this will keep out of the ditch dug by such conspir- atorS as Anslcy of the Dispatch. - Lock esburg Tocsin.
 The T0csin is sensible wheel paper. In the State of Arkansas there are as many Democratic WheelerS as of opposition to it, and if the Wheel is forced into politics they will still vote their principles.

The Irish coercion bill passed the English parliament last week. This law abolishes trIal by jury, destroys the freedom of the press, and virtually makes serfs of the Irish. Ireland will resist the new law, as it has similar laws in the past, that were afterwards re. pealed. The attempted enforce. ment of the coercion act, will re- suit in but one thing, home rule at last for poor, suffering lreland.- Such oppression can not long live in this enlightened, progressive age.

QUESTIONS FOR ANSLEY.


 Editor PICAYUNE.-In the Ar. kausaS Dispatch of the 9th, Capt. Ausley makes his man "Josiah" say that Jefferson opposed specie basis. and that Jefferson's idea was ''Treasury notes bottomed on taxes.' Also, that Calhoun "fa vored paper money based on re- ceivabiity for public dues, and his ablest speeches were in de- fense of this money'
 In another article ("The LuDy man and his plans'1, he says. "ln 1876 Dorshemir stamped the greenback dollar from the platform and Tilden wrote make the plat form as much like the republicans as possible, so that the boadhold- CTS will gire as much for the sue cess of the one as the other.'"
 Capt. Ansley sets himself up as teacher, and when referring to matters Of this kind, and pretend. ing at least to know something ol 1 the writings, speeches and records of these great men, should be able to inform his readers Tn what wri tings and speeches, and to whom, and at what time, such declara tions were made
 An assertion that Jefferson anC Calhoun favored paper money treasury notes) as a circulating medium, and coming from one who sets himself up as a teacher sounds strangely in the ears of one who has been a life long democrat, an( has been, as he supposed, follow ing in the footsteps of Jefferson Calhoun, Jackson and others, who believed. as he has understood them that the constitution recOg nizes nothing but gold and silver coin as money.
 It may be, however, that Capt Ansley has discovered some wri tings and speeches of these grea men, not yet made public, whicl may show that change came over them, and l therefore propose tC ask him d few questions, which trust he will be kind enough to an swer.
 |. At what time did MT. Jeffer son oppose specie basis?
 ,. At what time did Mir. Jeffer son advocate the issuance OfTreas ury notes hottomed on taxes What was the condition of tho Treasury at the time, and wha did he say about their redemption Did he ever say they ought to be made legal tender.
 8. When did MT Calhoun endors, or advocate the issuance of Treas ury notes! What was the cOndi ton of the country at the time and what did he say about payin; out the Treasury notes to the cred itors of the government Pleas' tell us all about it?

 6. Did not Mr. Jefferson deny that Congress had authority tc make paper money legal tender

THE DULTH, HURON AND DENVER.

Ii is we'll known that the HERALD
has held the most optimistic views
relative to the Duluth, Huron and
Denver railroad, both as to its con.
struction and the benefits to accrue
from it. 1t is especially gratifying,
therefore, for 1t to be able to an
noGnce that the project has become
a moral certainty, and that work
will be commenced upon it at no dis
tant day. Ithas had. from time to
time, private and confidential assur-
ances that the early spring would see
labor begin, but from the very
nature of such communications it
would have been breac of conf.
dence to-have made its information
public. The seal Of secrecy has been
broken, as will be seen by the follow
ing from the PIoneer.Press Of Mon
day morning:
The directors of the Duluth, Huron
and Denver railroad held an informal
meeting at the Merchants yesterday
afternoon to complete few arrange
ments for the carrying out the con-
tracts to build AL important section
of the road this summer. DIR. Conkey
of Dubuque, and president Of the
road. Mr.. Caldwell OF Huron, G. NJ.
Harrison of Huron, John II. Howard
and Nj. Gates Of Sank Centre. and
other parties interested were present.
Work on the construction OF the
road from Sank Centre to Benson,
thence to Appleton, thence through
Lac qui Parle county to the state
line and then into Huron will COM
mence at once. Eventually the road
will be extended from Sank Centre
to Duluth, and from Huron to Den.
YER, thus giving, as its projectors
claim, an important southwestern
aud northwestern through line to
the lake port. AS far as can be as
certained, no outside road is backing
the present incorporation. Sank
Centre people take 4 great interest
i'm the roads construction, looking to
it as a future outlet through their
locality for Dakota wheat. DR.. Con.
key is Il well known railroad man,
while the Huron parties are all peo'
pie Of business standing there.

TUE COUNTY DIVISION BILL.

This is the waythe st. Cloud Times
understands the County division bin
agreement, which does not. vary
much from the HERALD's undsr-
standing Of the matter. SO far AS it
goes. In this connection the Times
says nothing Of the earlier agree
ment made in st. Cloud:
The bill to submit to the voters of this
county proposition to divide it, and create
a new county failed TO pass. Several at
tempts were made by Mr.. Halvorson 10 call
1t up, but an objection from Mr., Heisler or
Mr.. Engelhard defea ted consideration each
time. as the bill was In such position that
objections were fatal. The strange thing
about this is thai Mr.. Freeman, never inter
posed an objection. He represented st.
Cloud, the county seat, and IL was his dnty
TO have actively opposed division. Instead
lie pledged himself to Sank Centre not to op.
pose the bill. He, we undersi and, feels hurt
at some of the Times criticisms. Who Is to
blame, If not himself? Why did he place
himself in that position. and thus stifie the
voice of st. Cloud: He had no right to do
II. The Journal-Press very innOcently ex.
plains that he made n bargain with Mr.. Hal.
vorson whereby the latter agreed not TO an.
tagOnize the Reformatory bill, II Mr.. Free.
man did not oppose division. This was a
weak and silly thing to do. There was prac-
ticaily no oppostoR TO this measure, as the
vote I'm both houses show. Why then make
such bargain? And, If made, why not
steadfastly stand by It? Why not be honest
among neighbors. at least? Why telegraph
to this city for help to defeat a bill, which 1t
had been agreed should not be opposed by
81. Clouds representative. We don't like
such methods, anu refused to have anything
TO do with them.
